A few highlights from the weekend!
Dad arrived on Thursday and left today. An every day highlight was getting to chat together while working out, working on the garage, and eating. I love hearing my dad’s stories (and that he listens to all of mine)!

Lowlights
- My feet being so damn tired from standing outside most of the day Friday – Sunday. They’d feel fine for 6-7 hours then the last hour or two… ouch.
I’m glad you have had such a great long weekend! Sometimes it all seems to come together and aside from your feet, looks like this was one of those times. 🙂
Our daughter was the one who texted us the election news on Saturday as we were driving – OH HAPPY DAY!! I know we are a couple of months away from inauguration but the wheels are in motion, hurray!
It was! Yay! I am so grateful for that!
How fun that she was the one to share it with you! I am excited for the potential of the next four years 🙂
You have such a nice relationship with your Dad!
Our kids spent Saturday afternoon here with us, we were all waiting for election results. We were all so excited when they came in!!! We all vote in GA so it’s extra exciting for us this year.
Thank you! I am grateful for it!
Oh fun! How exciting you got to vote in one of the deciding states!!!
Hooray for Dad coming over to help – and getting so much one-on-one time with him. <3 I'm sure that felt so nice!
I was at my writing date when we heard the news so it was so fun to be able to share my excitement with someone else! My phone kept making alert noises and she kept asking "DID HE WIN?" hahaha. What a lovely, lovely weekend for the country!
I'm so glad you took some time off on Monday to SLEEEEEEP. Spending all weekend doing such manual labor would wipe anyone out!
It really did! We hadn’t had that time since last November and I was really looking forward to it.
Aww, that is fun! How did you celebrate?
It felt so good to take that nap! We were all beat at the end of the day. I really think we all could have gone to bed right after eating dinner (early!) each night, but we rallied!
Saturday was awesome, was it not? Now if we could just get a certain someone to concede…
So glad you enjoyed time with your dad, and that the garage is almost (?) finished!?!? Your patience for that project is admirable. 😉
I wonder if that is going to happen!!!
It is almost finished! Just minor little things. And thank you! It’s really my husband who plans it all and is patient! I am just the helper 🙂
